PrettyMuchNoOne:
which are...?

PrettyMuchNoOne:
assuming one was in Lagos, what's their best option for getting access to Starlink?

i know before you could use the business plan and pay more, but that seems to have been removed as an option.

if someone got a mini terminal from, e.g. Jiji, is there any guarantee it'd work at home?

Thinkunltd:
i have the standard v2 at home stationed on my roof, but I’m a frequent traveler due to my job and sometimes it takes me to network dead zones so i needed a more portable that can fit the , hence the reason for the mini

Thinkunltd:
I bought the Starlink mini 3days ago from Starlink website and it was delivered the next day to Delta. Glad I didn’t go and buy from vendors cos time was against me and I needed it fast to travel with so I approached vendors and they said 570k..I just shun it and went ahead and place the order on the Starlink website at 354k.

Sapiosexuality:
Guys, does rain affect your starlink internet?

Nger88:
Please can I buy a starlink in the UK and use it in Nigeria. What are the steps that needs to be taken if I am buying in the Uk and to use in Nigeria?

Hmmm... My brother, to save money for this economy no easy and I cannot afford to make a mistake and buy a wrong battery.

Sorry that I am asking all these questions. Some of the information people like us get here may make a big difference.

Please, I would like you to still answer the original question

cutefy:
That's not nice tbh.

AndroBlaze:
Another thing you might not realise is that if he switches off the charging profile of that inverter, it kills the ability of that inverter to act as an automatic UPS, which I can tell you from personal experience is quite stressful for him to changeover every time NEPA takes light.

At least, lets first let him worry about obtaining the battery. On the first day he can charge it up for a while and observe it directly if he has a multimeter (which everyone in this forum should at least have by now).

AndroBlaze:
Have you used a dumb indian inverter with a lifepo battery or is this another theory vs experience argument?

AndroBlaze:
Omotoda's advice was given based on the experience of using a similar inverter. So is mine.

He doesn't need to worry about another charger as these inverters don't even have equalisation modes if I remember correctly.

AndroBlaze:
The advice Omotoda gave him was sound. That inverter will work fine with lifepo batteries and won't overcharge it as the charging profile is on average lower than what is needed to fill lifepo batteries. Also those buttons have nothing to do with charging but control how fast the UPS kicks in.

It's still good for him though to get an external charger so that he can ensure he fully charges the battery once in a while.

Obnoxious2001:
It's not for the charging.

I think this is for the input from mains.

It's good someone has actually experimented the lithium battery with Indian inverters.

OgaTheTop2:
@brightk Hi, can I get my mini kit activated for service in naija?

odimbannamdi:
After changing the name of my Starlink device and setting up a password, it resets after a while and returns to "Starlink" as the name, without any password.

This makes people to crowd in front of my house, tapping into my network. I am worried about the security challenge it poses.

Is anyone facing this? How can I resolve it

GloryJoyeux:
Hi, you are connecting the panels in series, so it’s the voltage of the panels that is going higher not the current.

So no need for thicker cables to level you are insinuating for the dc pv input.

The best pv charger controllers have Isc of 47amps and Imp of 17amps. So its not the kind of high current your are imagining.

dollarnaira:
Battery life goes beyond capacity testing...

Battery continuous performance goes beyond capacity testing...

clevermugu:
lolz. so people pay 2.350m for thier Eve pack and wait for 3months , when it can be gotten 2.2m from Valto here

pazone:
Except they're not all brand new, at least from the one I tested.

The problem with Deriy 14.3Kwh Hithium White Battery with MCCB is the cells are not brand new. See the attached image of the QR code. How can you say cells manufactured in 2021 are brand new?! Or are these fake QR codes? Whichever it is, it's still false marketing.
The BMS (image attached) was programmed to charge at 40amps, new cells are supposed to support charging at 1c. Or are the Hithium cells in Deriy different?
In Southern Nigeria lifepo4 needs to be charged as fast as possible because of the weather, the sky is not always clear like in the north. So anyone with high PV output should be able to charge at 1c or 0.5?

One more thing is the Deriy 14.3Kwh Hithium White Battery with MCCB is not DIY friendly because the cells are welded (image attached)
It won't be easy to replace a cell if something goes wrong in the future. DIYers should have this in mind before buying Deriy battery pack. You get what you pay for but KaylaDeriy shouldn't be marketing these as brand new, they're definitely not.

Nice community you guys have here, researching this battery to get more info & Google landed me on this thread. Capacity test to follow soon, these are first observations.

jmaine:
So you are basically saying paying 300 - 400K for an express service is better... No sir... That's too high to be considered any advantage...

At the end of the day... Preference is all that matters for folks...

turok:
Can I register my starlink account in Asaba and use the device in Warri? Warri is already sold out but Asaba is available

Peterlove11:
I bought 16kwh from him recently. He delivered directly at my doorstep in less than 24hrs.
I did capacity testing on it, was able to pull beyond 316ah from the battery, that was at 48v low voltage disconnect.
He used JK bms on the battery which I later read from reviews its a good and quality bms.
I will give the build quality a 8/10. Quality battery terminals and circuit breaker.
Concerning cycle life, he said it's rept cells with 8000cycle life.
In all, I will recommend if you want genuinely rated battery with good bms
This is based on the battery I bought from him, can't say about other capacities.

AndroBlaze:
It is almost 100% certain that the likes of CWORTH are using grade B cells and not saying anything about it so I wonder why it is hard for people to recommend Valto when he is an actual person that will tell you the grade of the cells if you ask

jmaine:
Are his cells Grade A, B, or C?

FEGEITOK:
This is an objective question and not a diss or an attack.

What are the pros and cons of purchasing a battery from our guy here Valto versus any other packaged batteries?

I've read here that Felicity batteries overstate their capacity but that Valto states the real capacity.

What other issues play in favor of Valto?

If there are any cons, please share.

Want to make an objective purchase decision here.

This is going to be my first lithium battery purchase and I don't want to get it wrong.

Comments on the below will be helpful:

Capacity,
Cycle life,
DIscharge rate,
safety features,
Build quality

Will be helpful

This list is by no means exhaustive

HeavenlyBang:
Cells are cells. Advantages of buying from him is he has good prices and customer support.

turok:
Can you activate this for me? dm me
